Environmental bill eyed for conference committee in Iowa
Senator Charles Laverty of Indianola urged sending the plan to a conference committee to fuse air water and solid waste control commissions with the chemical technology panel into a single Iowa Department of Environmental Quality. The House changes would keep the chemical technology commission under the agriculture secretary, complicating Senate support and inviting Gov Ray’s stance. Farm Bureau pressure against including the chemical tech panel is noted while the League of Women Voters backs the Senate version.

Newsmen Should Testify In Some Grand Jury Cases
Washington AP University of Michigan law professor Vince Blasi released an 18 month study for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. He says reporters should be exempt from testifying in cases involving victimless crimes but should testify in trials where crimes affect others or property. Blasi surveyed 975 reporters finding 18.5 percent subpoenaed, with 8 percent noting adverse effects on professional functioning. He noted nearly half would testify to protect sources under certain circumstances and that subpoenas still target journalists for militant groups and drug matters not tied to a crime. He concludes newsmen and not lawyers should decide when to reveal sources.
